Cant open files via double click on file icons

hello
i recently wiped my drive and did a clean install of 10.5.1 (lepperds).
here are specs for my machine:macprobook 2.33ghz intel core 2 duo w/ 2gb 667mhz ddr2 sdram, 120gb HD (72.25GB available), serial # W2186148K4Y, username:billysmac password:••••••••••••
now, when i double click files created in PhotoShop & Image Ready (not sure about other apps / files), the application will open but the file i originally double clicked does not open.
the same is true if i try to open file via: apple + single click on file >>>>> then drag down to 'open with app xyz" in the sub menu that appears. app opens but file does not.
the only way to open a file is to activate PS or IR followed by: menu bar >>> file >>> open >>>> finder window >>>> nav to & select file >>> click open in finder window.
furthermore, i have my iphoto set to edit photos in PhotoShop, but when i click 'edit', nothing happens.
this is a legit registered copy of PS & IR so im not sure whats going on. when i did a wipe, i backed up all my apps, account, files & folders, etc. to an ext HD. after the syst s.w. install, i dragged all the apps into the apps foleder. some apps wouldnt work any more, so i reinstaled them PS / IR did work though, except this issue, so i didnt boter reinstalling.
any suggestions?
thanks
billy

Hi,

In all cases where I had this problem it always was the Unit Types problem.

  • After I updated to yosemite my iMovie will not open.  I have found the folders in the applications for both versions 9 and 10 but neither one opens when I double click on the icon.  How do I remedy this?

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
              SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
    from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar at the top of the screen. Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then take one of the actions that you're having trouble with. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.

  • Firefox will not open when i double click on the icon

    i click on all my available shortcuts to open firefox and it will not open up. Before this started firefox just crashed. So i uninstalled it and installed it again and nothing.

    Hello Diana.
    Unfortunately, this kind of problems are the hardest to fix because they're the hardest to diagnose. For now, try reading this support article:

    I hope it helps.

  • Why do ALL my bookmarks open when I double click the Safari Icon!?!?

  • Can't Open Files Or Folders By Double Clicking on Its Icon

    I'm unable to open any file or folder by double clicking on its icon whether the icon is on my desktop or in a folder.
    For example, I can't open my hard disk or any DMG file on desktop by double clicking on its desktop icon, but I can open it or any file or folder by control-clicking on the icon and then clicking on 'open'.
    In my Finder, If I double click on an item in 'list' I can open it and in' columns' if I double click on an icon in 'preview' it will open/ launch and in 'cover flow' if I select an icon and double click on it there the file will open/launch.
    I've repaired permissions, 'verified disk' in Disk Utility (no problems found),
    run Disk Warrior as well as Applejack but the problem persists.... I just can't open by double clicking.
    Anyone have any ideas?

    Pretty weird...but I think I've heard of it before. I have no direct answer, but when weird stuff like this happens, I think of trying things like:
    -boot from OSX DVD and check operation
    -Time Machine backup
    -Safe Boot - might correct something
    -log out of user account and/or log into another user account, and see if doubleclick returns
    -and the usual SMC/PRAM reset
    I'm assuming you've diddled with the mouse/trackpad settings. Did you try a mouse?

  • I can not open one more new window of FF by double-clicking on FF icon

    I can open only 1 browser window FF
    I want to open another.
    - I can open by selecting NEW WINDOW from the file menu. It's normal.
    - But I can't open by double-clicking on FF icon. The message happens in this case: "Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system."
    Before double-clicking on FF, I checked processs at Task Manager and just one process "firefox.exe" is running.
    I try many ways to troubleshoot this problem such as:
    - install FF again
    - run safe mode
    - Update all add-on
    - add new profile in Profile manager and run with new one
    - I follow the anwser of post: https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/770203
    But can't fix this problem.
    I'm looking forward to your earliest reply
    Thank so much

    There is the Free  iTube Grabber which can capture almost any audio and/or video stream (it says here) but only works with Intel Macs.
    http://itube-grabber.en.softonic.com/mac
    Firefox Download Helper is also supposed to work, you have to be logged into YouTube first.
    There is also iTubeX which allows you to download videos (Flash, HTML5 and others), .mp3 and .swf files from almost every website as easily as possible:
    http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/27604/itubex
    Lastly: How to download Flash videos and play them in Quicktime using Perian is explained here:
    http://perian.org/#watch
    It's the video at the bottom of the page.
    Last but not least (as some of the above may not work with Snow Leopard or Lion) there is the 'pwn trick':
    For example, the full youtube site for your movie is:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bC2XIGMI ... e=youtu.be
    As soon as the movie starts, pause it and add 'pwn' in front of the youtube part of the url so it looks like this:
    http://www.pwnyoutube.com/watch?v=bC2XI ... e=youtu.be
    Hit Return and then follow the instructions.

  • I cannot open my iphoto application.  The minute I double click on the icon I get the rainbow which spins forever.  I've used Applejack to repair the hd, but even that didn't work.  I've getting into iphoto preferences..can't.  Help!

    I cannot open my iphoto application.  The minute I double click on the icon I get the rainbow which spins forever.  I've used Applejack to repair the hd, but even that didn't work.  I've getting into iphoto preferences..can't.  Help!

    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

  • How do I set my mouse to open with a double click

    How do I set mouse to open files with double click instead of right click and enter open option every time ?

    Open with a double-click is the default.
    To get it to work properly, adjust the double-click speed [ Slow <---> Fast ] until your "natural" double-click motion is recognized as a valid Double-click.
    Threshold set too fast and your natural motion will not be seen as a Double click.
    Set too slow and things like an impatient second click for selection will be mistakenly seen as a double-click instead.

  • My downloads will not open when I double click or right click in the download manager. What is going on?

    I cannot open my download by right clicking and opening, or by double clicking in the download manager. I have windows 7. What is the problem? I do not have a problem with internet explorer with the same download.

    It is possible that your anti-virus software is corrupting the downloaded files or otherwise interfering with downloading files by Firefox.
    Try to disable the real-time (live) scanning of files in your anti-virus software temporarily to see if that makes downloading work.
    See "Disable virus scanning in Firefox preferences - Windows"

  • Occasionally,  some of the image borders turn dark grey (medium grey is the default) and then random other  images cannot be opened with a double click.  They only open when selected using the arrows on the keyboard.  They also cannot be moved to collecti

    Occasionally,  some of the image borders turn dark grey (medium grey is the default) and then random other  images cannot be opened with a double click.  They only open when selected using the arrows on the keyboard.  They also cannot be moved to collections.  Anyone have a solution for this?

    When you say  "could not be opened"- what are you referring to?  A double click of the mouse should view the clicked image in Loupe view- the same as pressing [E] on the keyboard for an enlarged view. (And a second double-click will take you back to library grid view.)
    To "open" an image in the Development module requires you to select the image then press [D] or click on the [Develop] button.
    When you say "could not be ...moved" -what are you referring to?  Are you trying to move an image file from its place in a folder to another folder? Are you just wanting it in a collection? When you drag an image to a collection you are only placing a link to the image in the collection- not actually moving any file. The image will stay exactly where it is in its original folder and will remain as a thumbnail preview in the Library Grid view.
    Are you having any "mouse" problems that may be changing its actions in LR ?
    Do you see an exclamation mark on any image borders ?
    Let's keep working on this. I am curious to see you find an answer.

  • Unable to close open apps with double clicking the button and when I tap screen does not respond?

    Cannot not close open apps with double clicking the button Since downloading iOS8.

    What happens when you try? Does double clicking the ?home button bring up the Task Bar of recently used apps? If so what happens when you flick up on the preview screen for the app you want to close?
    To quit an app double click the Home button to reveal the row of recently used apps. Flick up on the page preview and it will fly away and disappear. That quits the app.
